	Netanyahu Deciphered! - Middle East Quarterly
		Netanyahu's robust opposition to the Oslo accords, no doubt genuine at the time, also served as a rallying cry and mechanism when, as opposition leader, he needed to unify the nationalist (or Likud-led) bloc.
		Netanyahu's problems rounding up votes also came out in the Bar-On affair, an incident when he, along with the director of his office (Avigdor Liberman) and the minister of justice (Tzachi Hanegbi), was placed under investigation for an alleged deal with Ariye Deri, leader of the Shas Party.
		Netanyahu will have two major tactical choices and two policy choices, none of which is ideal and all of which he will put off for as long as possible.

	Netanyahu Resigns In Protest Of Pullout
		Netanyahu submitted his resignation and walked out of the cabinet room moments before the first of several procedural votes formally setting the evacuation plan in motion.

	Under Netanyahu: The Current Situation in Israeli Politics
		Netanyahu's campaign focused on the lack of security the Oslo accords had brought to Israel, promising instead that he would offer "peace with security," the elixir that all Israelis crave, although he was less specific about he would achieve this.
		Netanyahu's conception of his own role is based closely on the American presidential system and he has set about modelling the prime minister's office in the image of the White House.
		Netanyahu has yet to demonstrate the ability to articulate a consistent set of policies and to display the determination necessary to ensure their implementation.

		Netanyahu, bowed and disloyal, has little to offer: he is aware the chances of him being Israel's next prime minister are now somewhere between slim and none.
		Netanyahu's problem is that Sharon has long called for the "ousting" of the present Palestinian leadership, and especially Yasser Arafat.
		Netanyahu has since found it almost impossible to be simultaneously loyal and opposed to his prime minister.

	Netanyahu attacks - Israeli working class responds
		Netanyahu last week revealed his petty reactionary prejudices, and what he thinks of the poor of Israel, in an interview to Israel’s IDF Radio, when he said that poor people should not raise large families.
		Behind Netanyahu and Sharon are of course the Israeli capitalists, who while they are waging war on the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories, are also waging another war on the home front against workers in Israel, both Jewish and Palestinian.
		I would like to remind you that when Netanyahu introduced the new austerity plan he said, "I phoned Condoleeza Rice today and she expressed her satisfaction with the new economic plan." This shows that Israel, more than in any other period of the past, is not an independent state.

		Netanyahu has followed in the footsteps of these early Revisionists with his explicit opposition to any viable Palestinian State, with his preference for provocation and the mailed fist over negotiation, and with his stated desire to "transfer" the Palestinians elsewhere (not just those in the Occupied Territories, but Palestinian citizens of Israel as well).
		Netanyahu was one of the early peddlers of the "Jordan is Palestine" myth, a slogan designed to undercut support for a Palestinian State in the West Bank and Gaza, and increase support for policies designed to "encourage" Palestinians to leave their homeland.
		Binyamin ("Bibi") Netanyahu is still involved in Israeli politics, and has recently declared his intent to run for office again in the next general elections.

		Netanyahu had his sights set on becoming prime minister, and believed that by undermining faith in Rabin, he would be able to topple his government by means of a vote of no confidence in the Parliament.

		Netanyahu told Israel Radio on Sunday that, "It must be understood that Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear threat against Israel."
